"More people live in this world, and then die in the entire human history." (Opening monologue)
No matter who unfortunately falls on it, it will be a scene A personal catastrophe. At the same time, the way people deal with disasters and the journey out of the haze also reflect each person’s own experience and personality. In the film "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close", the boy Oscar's way of releasing his pain from the loss of his father One is screaming, and the old man who experienced World War II and lost his son in "911" spent most of his life in silence and running away. The old man was tattooed with YES on his left hand and NO on his right hand, and occasionally wrote a few words as a necessary answer, as if hiding in a remote spiritual realm.
It seems that the little Oscar in the film is a not very flattering character. Sudden misfortune made him Zhang Huang confused and out of line, making him irritable, irritable, nervous and often yelling because of his lack of courage. He is the closest to him. The person in's has great hostility, puts his own pain on others, and often acts very noisy, as if he has said all the words of the whole family alone. Cyril, who was abandoned by his father in the film "Bicycle Boys" by the Danes, was also angry and violent, hostile, and even acted on guardians. However, although Cyril's painful entanglement has external manifestations, he has also been hoarse, but he has drama. The ability to walk the heart makes a kind of pity and sorrow linger naturally, but the hoarseness of the Oscar in this film only gives people the feeling of acting hard, which can not but be said to be a pity.
Since the film was released, it has incurred a lot of negative reviews. If it was produced by an ordinary director, maybe not so far, but it is directed by the talented Steven Dadley. His stage skills, his past work "Time "The Moment", "Dancing Life", and "Reader" all convinced the audience, so the expectation of the movie was raised, but the final quality this time can only be regarded as passable, no wonder it has attracted bad reviews. What's more, it is thankless for the British to shoot 9/11 traumatic films. Many people think that if they are directed by personal witnesses, they may not hold them. Unexpectedly, they will not hold them even if they are not personally experienced. Live, the screenwriter Eric Rose also lost his way this time, and the one who holds the most in the film is the silent grandfather and the grandmother with a little personality.
The first half of the film seems to express the hard pursuit of a boy after the death of his father. The latter part focuses on healing and growth. There are a lot of touch points. There are interactions between the boy and the elderly (this part of the scene will remind the audience Many similar movies, such as "Heart of Athenantis" and "Is anyone there?"), there are a coincidence between a boy and a stranger because of a coincidence, and there are emotional rivalries between mother and child. It seems that more contacts have made the plot a little messy, and there are sensationalism in many places, which is one of the main reasons why it is criticized.
The most intriguing performance in the film appears on the main supporting role. Max von Sidor’s silent grandfather performs very vividly, calmly and delicately, and can be said to be light. Although he can’t speak, his eyes are full of subtext. When the boy forced him to listen When Thomas’s last phone call was recorded, the old man’s facial expression progressed silently due to the change in the time of the message and the tone of the content, giving an emotional tightness and burning sensation. Zoe Coldwell's grandmother is natural and real, and one of the scenes of lying on the ground and communicating with her grandson hiding under the bed is very moving. Viola Davis in "Help" still plays in the film. When the little Oscar chattered, the tears that fell on her cheeks because of her own situation explained the changes and suffering that she and her family were experiencing.
It is said that Jonathan Safran Fowler’s original work of the same name is quite literary and belongs to a type that is not easy to adapt. The focus of the book is to express the experiences and perceptions of the three generations of grandparents in various man-made disasters, and various types of emotions. The communication is very delicate and moving, and the film only focuses on creating the 9/11 episode, which seems to be used to comfort the injured hearts of Americans. Now it seems that this intention has been troublesome from the beginning.
Of course, the film is not lacking in highlights. Except for the wonderful performances of the old drama, the lens pictures are full of rich or blurred or remote or repressive beauty, the editing level is not bad, the convergence and transformation of memories and reality are quite smooth, and the soundtrack is also pleasant. In love, moreover, Sandra Brook dedicated one of the few psychological dramas in her acting career, which deserves recognition.
